Kate Upton Gives Birth to First Child With Justin Verlander

The 26-year-old model gave birth to her first child, a baby girl, with husband Justin Verlander on Nov. 7. Upton shared the exciting news on her Instagram on Saturday, posting a black-and-white photo of her new bundle of joy and revealing her adorable name.

“Genevieve Upton Verlander 💗 11.7.18,” she captioned the sweet photo. The proud dad also shared the same snap on his Instagram, writing, “Welcome to the world Genevieve Upton Verlander. You stole my ❤️ the first second I met you!!! 11.7.2018.” The baby’s arrival comes three days after the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary.

“#PregnantinMiami @justinverlander,” she wrote alongside a picture of her posing in a red suit.

Verlander, who pitches for the Houston Astros, re-posted the picture on his own Instagram and added a heartfelt message praising his wife.

“You’re going to be the most amazing Mom!!” he wrote. “I can’t wait to start this new journey with you! You’re the most thoughtful, loving, caring, and strong woman I’ve ever met! I’m so proud that our little one is going to be raised in this world by a woman like you! I love you so much.”

“I got to marry my best friend,” the supermodel told Maxim in July. “He’s an amazing man. He’s so supportive and focused and motivated, and he inspires me every day. I’m so very lucky that he’s my husband.”

“Who knows, if I’m even here if it wasn’t for her?” he shared. “She was instrumental in me not… like, jumping off a bridge. I was depressed and kind of just upset at the world and trying to hide my own s**t. F**k, man. She was what I needed.”
